description Open U.P. Overview

The Open U.P. (Unbeaten Path) is the bike that arguably started the modern gravel movement.

It is a lightweight, high-performance bike that is still incredibly relevant today.

Open focuses on high-end framesets, allowing riders to build their dream bike from the ground up. It is a favorite among enthusiasts who want a bike that is both historically significant and still at the top of its game.
